Actually, it is one IP address per interface. A node can have multiple addresses - routers generally do. Even having multiple interfaces to the same network should really not be a big issue. This setup is perfectly legal from what I can see, if both the 10/8 and 10.0.1/24 are in the same network. It seems that what Al is worried about is the fact that when he gets a ping from 10.0.1.2 it comes in from eth0, but again (as mandated by the routing table) the echo reply goes out from eth1 - not the same way it came in. Al, why are you worried that the echo reply goes out from a different interface? It might be easier to understand what you want if we would understand the problem.
